A Blow for Moyes: The Ajax Swoop
Manchester City’s brilliant Carlos Borges is close to an impressive €20m transfer to Eredivisie giants Ajax, much to the chagrin of West Ham United, according to The Athletic. Initially, the Hammers were big favorites for the services of this rising prodigy.
However, in a dramatic turn of events, the Dutch club intervened in front of David Moyes’ side. As the only Premier League side to boast a summer first-team signing before the start of the season, West Ham’s failure to bring in Borges sounds like a huge blow to Moyes.
A Dutch Opportunity Beckons
Under the terms of this impending deal, City cleverly maintains a buyback clause and secures a 20% sell-on provision, ensuring potential future gains. The 19-year-old is soon to complete his medical examination in Amsterdam, effectively signalling the final phase of this lucrative move.
A Glistening Record Left Behind
It’s noteworthy that Borges has not yet debuted in the senior City squad despite amassing an astonishing 29 goals in just 33 appearances last season. Not only did he finish as the Premier League 2’s top scorer, but he has also earned accolades at the international level, representing Portugal in the under-19 tier.
Leaving the English stage for now, Borges is set to become the newest member of Ajax’s squad, reinforcing their youthful ranks. His move marks another City academy graduate’s exit, though not without an extraordinary legacy etched in the annals of Premier League 2.
